The Swedish Embassy is located in the northeastern part
of the embassy ensemble. The design refers to the aesthetics of
classical Swedish Modernism, for example in the window band and the
wall strip of the western facade.

With large glass fronts in the western and southern facades, the
embassy building opens onto the plaza. Toward the street side the
horizontal louvers of the copper band are open, allowing insight
into the embassy building. The facades facing the plaza, following
the structure of the copper band, have horizontally accentuated
rows of windows.

The facade facing south is framed with white Gotland limestone,
the western facade, by contrast, is clad in panels of polished
black granite, arranged in strips.

The central element of the four-story atrium is a spiral staircase
faced with birch wood which winds its way up and connects all of
the floors. The walls are also clad in wood panels, joined by thin
copper strips, resulting in a grid structure.

Visitors are led along a large, curved limestone wall into the
building. The conference room appears to be floating on the water
outside the building.
